    I think this a great point, I've seen plenty, shot a few with a 222, also a 223 until one day I ran into a big stag in the roar, he was mudded up angry as all hell and took a 5 shots to the neck with the 223 at 20 odd meters and shook them off like nothing
    Thankfully there another forum member there to polax him with the 7mm but ever since then only for bunnies just my 2 cents.
    Important to note that was big red stag not a fallow.
    I've never heard anyone say I wish I brought a smaller calibre when out deer hunting.
